Written by Alonge Akinlolu on 29 — 10
Ademola Lookman found the back of the net to help Atalanta secure a 1–1 draw against AC Milan, marking his first goal of the season and signalling a positive return to form for the Nigerian forward.
Speaking to DAZN after the game, Lookman expressed his relief and determination to keep improving after a slow start to the campaign.
“It was important to return to availability for the team,” Lookman said. “I hope to get into match condition even more, I took a while, but now we must grow and aim to win the next ones. When I’m on the pitch, the most important thing is helping the team to win.”
The 27 year old, who has faced a challenging period amid transfer speculations and fitness concerns, looked sharp and confident throughout the encounter. His equaliser not only earned Atalanta a valuable point but also restored belief among fans that he can rediscover the form that made him one of Serie A’s standout players last season.
Lookman’s performance comes as a boost for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, who continue to fight for consistency in their Serie A campaign. His focus now, he says, is on staying fit and contributing more goals as the season progresses.
